Chapter 273 -271 Unite as One (First Release)
Juan Canyun was thus led by Mo Shigui in front of Zhao Mingwei…
“For this week, you will train with him,” Mo Shigui said, pointing at Zhao Mingwei.
They were currently in the Leap Nucleus base, and today’s Thorne had not yet been refreshed, so Zhao Mingwei took the opportunity to guide his apprentice Yelena’s Mind Energy while collecting her careful thoughts to exchange for… a Challenge Voucher.
There are now three ways to obtain Challenge Vouchers in the world inside, the first being the system issuing a bound Challenge Voucher to all players over level fifty every day.
The second is the NPC’s Affection Shop on Biland Island and some daily quests issued by NPCs that reward Challenge Vouchers.
Among them, Miss Cat’s bounty tasks offer plenty of Challenge Vouchers, which are also bound, generally only one per task.
The third is the world inside refreshing some wandering monsters. There are many types of these monsters, such as ‘Treasure Worm,’ ‘Treasure Thief,’ and ‘Sneaky Shadow’ – creatures that are purely fast and low on attack but give players unbound Challenge Vouchers as rewards, varying from one to seven at a time.
Another type of wandering monster includes ‘Chest Beast,’ ‘Gold Devouring Dragon,’ and ‘Grand Thief Serene’ – wilderness leaders in the world inside who also drop a massive amount of Challenge Vouchers.
These monsters are currently contested by major guilds; their refresh rate in the world inside is not low, so now inside the Leap Nucleus base, few people can be seen, all busy hunting Chest Beasts in the world inside or concentrating their firepower on the New World Plaza region.
If Zhao Mingwei remembered correctly, when the Guardians of the world inside finished their shifts yesterday, Cola Frenzy contributed slightly more in the New World Plaza region than Leap Nucleus did.
But none of these were what Zhao Mingwei should be concerned about right now…
“I… I’m training with Master Laugh?” Juan Canyun, of course, recognized Zhao Mingwei’s account in the game Holy Spirit. The name Master Laugh was almost legendary to the newcomer players.
Juan Canyun’s past idol was Zhao Mingwei, which felt like a budding singer discovering they were arranged by the company to learn alongside Jay Chou.
“Unwilling?” Mo Shigui noticed Juan Canyun’s hesitation.
Juan Canyun was now too afraid to even speak, all he could do was nod frantically, fearing that saying the wrong thing would upset Zhao Mingwei.
“The playoffs are in five days, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just follow the previous training pace,” Mo Shigui said, giving Juan Canyun’s shoulder a light tap.
In truth, Juan Canyun’s operational level had already reached the top tier, his physical fitness was just a little lacking, as well as his match experience, but these are aspects that require a long time to improve, and it was nearly impossible for Juan Canyun to enhance these in a short period.

Because this was a bottleneck and shackle weighing on every professional player, no matter in Holy Spirit or Discord, the skills were limited, the combos were almost the same, and what everyone competed with was their reaction time, physical fitness, and the ability to seize opportunities.
Yet the game Holy Spirit allowed them to break through these shackles, and Mo Shigui could only hope that Juan Canyun could break through himself as well.
After giving this advice, he left, leaving only Zhao Mingwei and Juan Canyun looking at each other, both men not very talkative, with Juan Canyun unsure of what to say at the moment.
But suddenly, Juan Canyun felt someone staring intently at him from behind Zhao Mingwei… it was Yelena.
Yelena was hiding behind Zhao Mingwei, popping her little head out and eyeing Juan Canyun with a cautious look. She glanced at Zhao Mingwei, who seemed deep in thought, and took the initiative to step out from behind him…
“Are you… also here to learn Mind Energy from Master?” Yelena inched closer to Juan Canyun and asked.
Mind Energy, what’s that? Juan Canyun was momentarily confused by Yelena’s question, then suddenly remembered that Zhao Mingwei’s profession was a Mind Energy Master, so he somewhat dazedly nodded his head.
“Then I am your… um, using the Holy Spirit terminology, I am your senior sister!”
As Yelena spoke, a bunch of golden careful thoughts burst from her chest and fell to the ground.
What is this? Juan Canyun was stunned for a moment and then noticed that his backpack had an extra set of items, ‘Yelena’s Proud Affections X41’.
Affections? Juan Canyun hadn’t even battled in the wars of deity, so of course, he was clueless about the function of Affections items, but he was anxiously waiting for Zhao Mingwei to teach him some useful stuff for the professional racing arena.
“Juan Canyun, is your profession the Final Fighter?”
Zhao Mingwei had just been browsing the Holy Spirit forum searching for information related to Juan Canyun’s profession.
There were already few Holy Spirit players, and even fewer played Juan Canyun’s profession. There was hardly any information online about this profession, so in desperation, Zhao Mingwei had to post on the Holy Spirit forum.
“Which master knows the backstory of a Final Fighter? Poster: Happy Gaming.”
This post quickly received a response from the enthusiastic archaeologist Fervent Scholar Team. It was unclear whether the Fervent Scholar Team knew Happy Gaming ID was Zhao Mingwei’s alt account, but their reply was extensive, over three to four thousand words, detailing the origins of the Final Fighter profession.
After reading the series of stories about the Final Fighter posted by the Fervent Scholar Team, Zhao Mingwei understood roughly how to quickly enhance Juan Canyun’s ‘combat ability’.
“It’s the Final Fighter, but Master Laugh… our playoff competition is in Discord, not Holy Spirit,” Juan Canyun glanced at Yelena, who was looking forward to being his senior sister.
Juan Canyun wasn’t here to learn Mind Energy from Zhao Mingwei; he was here to gain experience on the Discord professional racing track, along with some professional skills of Discord he was unaware of.
Initially, Juan Canyun thought Zhao Mingwei would share some experience from the Discord racing track, but his first decision was…
“I know, but first try to communicate and resonate with the demon spear within you… I can’t think of any better way to describe it,” Zhao Mingwei said.
“Boss… What did you say?” Juan Canyun asked, puzzled by Zhao Mingwei’s high-level talk that made him even use honorifics in his address.
“Magic spear, there are many advancements within the spear-related professions, but according to the lore of the saints, your professional power is derived from the magic spear… I’ll send it to you privately,” Zhao Mingwei said.
“?????”
Juan Canyun struggled to keep up with Zhao Mingwei, who actually sent all the background stories written by the Star Scholars team to Juan Canyun. Juan glanced at the pile of backstory.
Isn’t this just the occupational background set in the game? The body storing the unmatched spear… Doesn’t this seem like a line added by the game designers to boost the profession’s prestige on a whim?
Could it be… his body model actually contains an incredibly powerful epic weapon? Was Boss trying to trigger a hidden quest for him?
That’s not right! He came today to learn the occupational skills of strife. No matter how strong the characters in the saints are, they are useless!
While Juan Canyun was in a state of confusion, Zhao Mingwei suddenly extended his left hand, and a lotus made of mind energy bloomed in his palm.
“What is this… skill?”
Juan Canyun had also studied the Mind Energy Master profession, but only some female players’ Mind Energy Masters had a skill called Thousand Lotus Blossom that could summon such a lotus.
What Zhao Mingwei had chosen was clearly the forbidden mind energy tattoo path, and moreover, Thousand Lotus Blossom was an awakening skill, and for a player to master two awakening skills was too… unbalanced.
“It’s not a skill; it’s just a method of controlling mind energy,” said Zhao Mingwei as the lotus in his hand turned into light particles and then vanished. “How much did your Jumping Nucleus VR device cost?”
“The best kind. I heard from seniors that just a helmet costs over two hundred thousand,” Juan Canyun said.
“Then it should have a neural network feature. When you play strife, don’t you also release skills just by thinking about them?” Zhao Mingwei asked.
“That… of course,” Juan Canyun nodded. The neural network was a new feature launched in VR devices a year ago, which simply lets players use their ‘thoughts’ to play games.
However, this feature isn’t perfect, so most of the time, character movement and attacks need to be executed manually or with buttons. But releasing a skill only requires a thought, which is very convenient.
“The game saints will likely introduce a system in the future where players can create their own skills and craft their equipment. Not every professional background setting might be just a simple setup, so… if you want to better grasp your own abilities, I recommend trying to communicate with your magic spear.”
“So that’s how it is…”
What does that even mean!
Juan Canyun’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he was nearly misled by Zhao Mingwei… In Juan’s understanding, Zhao Mingwei was teaching him to better master the skills of the Final Fighter profession.
This is just like turning off the combat assistance in the game.
But the problem is he came here to enhance his strife skills!
Juan Canyun’s respect for Zhao Mingwei prevented him from questioning him.
“Why don’t you just take him to fight against Thorne?” Suddenly a strange voice rose next to Juan Canyun.
“President?” Zhao Mingwei turned his head and saw Jiang Qiao had approached without him noticing.
Zhao Mingwei knew Jiang Qiao had been standing by, watching the scene unfold, and had heard Zhao’s discussion with Mo Shigui, so his suggestion wasn’t surprising.
Jiang Qiao had actually been following Juan Canyun since just now. The Inner World was still in its developing stage, and Jiang Qiao didn’t need to interfere too much. Originally, Juan Canyun learning from Zhao Mingwei had reassured Jiang Qiao.
But Zhao Mingwei, the clueless coach, wasn’t suitable for the role. He was teaching Juan Canyun some things that, in Juan’s view, were impossible or utterly useless.
So… Jiang Qiao had to request Coach Number Two to step in.
“Thorne seems like a good option too,” Zhao Mingwei, serving as a coach for the first time, reasoned that Thorne would be an excellent gold-medal sparring partner. He was the kind that could rapidly enhance Juan Canyun’s various ‘attributes.’
“Thorne… Boss, if I go fight Thorne again… there will be trouble,” Juan Canyun didn’t know how to describe it.
Thorne was now the Guardian with the highest attention in the saints, even performing via projections at Blossom Plaza. If Juan Canyun appeared on Thorne’s arena again, it would probably stir up a whole lot of fuss again.
“Trouble? Losing to Thorne won’t cost you experience or equipment. Is it that you don’t have enough Challenge Vouchers?” Zhao Mingwei asked with some confusion.
Since retiring, Zhao Mingwei spent his days engrossed in the arena and equipment crafting, utterly ignoring online comments, so he was oblivious to the negative flak on Jumping Nucleus. Even if he knew, he likely wouldn’t have been interested.
“It’s not that…” Juan Canyun tried to explain the current situation of Jumping Nucleus to Zhao Mingwei, so he opened the Weibo interface intending to share some content with him.
But then… he again saw that comment greeting Fureya.
“Let me ask the coach if he can issue a few more Challenge Vouchers,” Juan Canyun said.
